I installed 1.0.8.2 yesterday on my home PC, tested it, through firewall etc, and then left for Christmas. I am on another PC now, I connected fine, then the PC went into standby, on bringing it back up, I closed the vnc viewer since there was nothing in the window. Trouble is I can't reconnect - I get another user is connected with DSM plugin. I'm using the DSM encyrption plugin, and I realise you can't have multiple connections, but surely there's some timeout with VNC?

I saw elsewhere on the forums that the default timeout = 0. Is this true?

Any ideas? Do you think it will timeout? Is there a way around this? Ultimately it's my fault for not checking all options when I set this up, but I didn't have much time and assumed that most options out of the box would be sensible.

thanks for any help

It's not the controlled PC that went into standby. The controlled PC is fine.

It's a huge shame that the default setting makes it so easy for the server to become useless. It would have been so much better if the default server behaviour was to detect a broken or idle connection and release the session.

So I guess there's no solution to this while I have no access to the server?

Seems also really odd default behaviour in software designed for remote and secure access. What's wrong with re-logging in every so often?

Hi, I posted this a few days ago in the 108x forum, but got no joy - apologies if you read it twice

I'm running 1.0.8.2, with viewer and server win xp sp3. As of now it hasn't timed out, so it looks like it's not going to.

I just tested vncviewer 1.0.8.2 on win7rc connected to winvnc running as system service 1.0.8.2 on vista business sp2 with securevncplugin 1.0.2.0
on computer of vncviewer connected to remote,
i was forcing to sleep mode (not hibernation)
waiting fews minute
wake-up computer of vncviewer and as normal, the connection was broken.
then reconnect viewer to remote was possible !

then doing the same step after just change with msrc4plugin 1.2.4.0 and reboot before start test.

no crunched winvnc since i can reconnect vncviewer with msrc4plugin or securevncplugin depend plugin was set to server.

have a look at your computer of vncviewer no have an issue with bios standby mode or anything can block/break the standby mode.

there fews level of standby mode and one override any connection running and force break network connection like computer shutdown and force computer shutdown in case of one software don't react or block shutdown.

This level can be changed at network interface card or/and power option at control panel.

I hope Rudi can have a look about this issue is normal function or bug of IdleTimeout=0 with/without dsmplugin
